re: #137 Islamo-Masonic Vourdalak

I would distinguish between situational and relativistic morality. What you mean is situational morality, where goodness or evilness of something depends on the situation (I would argue that any healthy morality is in part situational; lying is wrong, but lying to the Nazis about hiding the Jews isn’t). Relativistic morality on the other hand is relative to the person.

a nice distinction, but more often i find myself in the position of responding to something like this:

“neaow i know you liberals believe in einstein when he says everything is relative, therefore you teach your children that everything is relative including morals, like situational or relativistic ethics and such like, but if everything is relative and you have no fixed morals or ethics, and you decide what is right or wrong by your fallible human self according to each situation, then what are you going to tell beelzebub when he is shoving a red hot iron pineapple up your ass for all eternity, huh what about that buster??”
